It is created directly by continuous casting or indirectly by rolling an ingot on a slabbing mill.

The shop was originally designed to produce ingots for conversion to slabs through the Slabbing Mill route.

Slabbing Mill transforms ingots into slabs by rolling them in its 1250 mm Universal Four-High Mill.

Slabs from Continuous Casting Shop and Slabbing Mill are processed in the state-of-the-art Hot Strip Mill.

In the rolling mill, the slabs are reduced in thickness to the required gauge by passing through a 2-high reversing slabbing mill and a 4-mill where it is levelled, cooled and cut to length.

VÖEST received its new slabbing mill but the new hot strip mill was delayed by the opposition of the Pentagon, which feared that VÖEST product would be sold to the Soviet bloc.

This does not tie in with when the Slab Mill was built as no one knows what would have powered it.

Works before being named area manager for maintenance at the Edgar Thomson slab mill in 1987.

The first building was the Western Slab Mill.

Rising project costs for a new slab mill in Brazil – the plant is likely to cost €4.7bn instead of the initial €3bn – have caused further unrest.

Later buildings were added that included the Second Slab Mill opening in c.1830, a foundry, engineering facilities, a quarry railway and several slate mills.

Further new plant was added over the next decade, including a slab mill, a large plate mill, a billet mill and three open hearth furnaces.

The Duesseldorf-based company nonetheless warned that its Brazilian steel slab mill on-stream went over budget yet again, by as much as 1 billion euros, delaying production once more.

Instead he is building both a slab mill in Brazil and a carbon and stainless finishing plant in Alabama that will produce a total of about 5 million tonnes of steel per year.

The outlook for Brazil's steel industry has come under scrutiny recently as talks intensify over the sale of ThyssenKrupp's ill-fated slab mill in Rio de Janeiro, CSA.

Koehler said there were no further construction delays for its slab mill in Brazil and processing plant in the U.S. state of Alabama, nor did either project go any further over budget.

Harnack began his career with U. S. Steel in 1976 as a management trainee at the slab mill at Mon Valley Works' Edgar Thomson Plant in Braddock, Pa.

Pretax at its core Steel division fell 11.5 percent to 353 million euros after lower profit contributions from its Industry and Auto business units combined with project costs for its planned Brazilian slab mill to weigh on results.

In the rolling mill, the slabs are reduced in thickness to the required gauge by passing through a 2-high reversing slab mill and a 4-high reversing Steckel mill, where the plate is leveled and cut to length.
